Don't have a 20 but in both my 12 gauges I get great patterns with Indian Creek Chokes. I have pretty much got really good to great patterns using Indian Creek chokes. If I had to choose another choke it would be from Sumtoy. Call Mr William and tell him your setup and what you are looking for in a pattern and he will square you away. Apex is very good in both my guns along with Rogue. Personally I have never shot them but have heard good things about Foxtrot ammo also.  The federal might be worth looking at and a little cheaper also. And some others with a 20 gauge may want to answer this but about a .562 constriction seems to be a good starting point.

My gun patterns great with Sumtoy 562 and apex/nitros or handload #9s

Indian creek, Sumtoy and handloads. Less expensive also

On my gun I run a XFull Colonial Arms choke .570 constriction. It eats pretty much anything I feed it, but it really likes the Federal 8x10 TSS blends.

Running apex 9's through a .570 Indian Creek. Throws a very nice hunting pattern

Depends on what you consider the best.  You want to shoot like a laser or cover a barn door?  Either way, there are variances between 2 guns using the exact same choke.

Pick a brand of choke you like and try something in the .555 to .570 range for a 20 gauge.  If you get lucky, the first one will be perfect.  If not, try another size.

I shoot Boss 2oz 9s through a .555 in a remington 870 and .555 and .565 in tristar O/U.  The .555 in both guns is a very small pattern so up close requires a tight aim.

My Remington patterned Rogue ammo #9s really well. I shoot a cheap Cabelas brand .575 choke and I was blown away with the pattern I got at 50.

Apex 9's and the factory full choke crio M2 20 gauge works really well for me.
